Gas prices, part 2
OK, my previous rant on gas prices wasn't completely warranted. Crude prices have gone up quite a bit recently, and mostly explain the increase in pump prices.
I found historical crude prices on the web, and compared them to my records for what I've paid at the pump. The comparison was really a bit of an eye-opener. Generally, crude prices really are reflected at the pump. Huh.

*for those wondering, I've been keeping track of my gas purchases for the last two years because my car's odometer stopped. I use gas purchases to estimate miles driven.
